This is my first attempt at an auction, and here's the spooky item up for bids!

(Sorry for the kind of terrible pics - guess I should use my real camera instead of my old cell phone. Ah well.)

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to attend anime conventions. For anyone who hasn't attended one before, on the last day, the vendors - there's usually an entire gymnasium-sized room or two full of vendors - put their merchandise on sale. At the time, Formation Arts had just released a set of vinyl Kingdom Hearts figures that came in random boxes. So, much like pins, you bought a box, not knowing what was in it, and then you collect and trade the set. I bought a bunch of boxes because I thought they were cool, and I'm rabid for collecting (who would have guessed?).

Anyway, this was one of the figures I got: Jack Skellington and Zero, and as I'm not a huge NBC fan, I was digging through old boxes and figured someone else might like it more than me. This figure is fairly rare nowadays, and tends to sell for $40-60 on the auction site. This whole series of figures aren't from the blister packs, but instead come in boxes in pieces, and required assembly. Just want to make it clear that this is not one whole piece, and is not posable.

On to important details: 1 Formation Arts Vol. 1 Kingdom Hearts Chess Figures - Jack Skellington :halloween:

What I'm looking for (PinPics: Tokaji):
Fantasia - Just the original, not 2000, unless it's just the brooms/Sorcerer's Apprentice
Anything from Up
Muppets! Particularly Beaker and Professor Honeydew
Topiaries!
Brave
BatB and Ariel/TLM for my wife
Classic Pooh
Anything cool!

What I'm not looking for:
The Fab 5
Classic Princesses, mostly
Hidden Mickeys not on my wants
Scrappers
Pins with bad W/T ratios on PP


This auction will end at 10pm WDW/EST time on Sunday, June 26th! All the best of luck to everyone bidding!:halloween:

(Hopefully I got all the information down - I read the guides and rules like 3x to make sure.)
 
Glad to hear that Merlin - it is in great condition, just a bit dusty.

Doc - It stands about 7 or 8 inches tall. That's a piece of 8x11 paper behind it, so you can kind of judge by that.
 
Welcome to the auction room ! This looks super cool and i'm sure my brother would love it ! I've never seen one of these before .
I'll bid these Muppets pins please ,
pin 99964 Muppets most wanted Fozzie limited edition 400

Lunchtime bump! I love that Disney movies have a tendency to have scenes with characters eating. Not sure why, it's a strange thing.

I'm looking for the new Star Wars Storm Trooper Helmet Mystery packs! And Disney Afternoon Pins, like Darkwing Duck, Tailspin, and Duck Tales!

One more bid to make a leaderboard....
 
Just beat through the Nightmare Before Christmas world in the original Kingdom Hearts bump! They did a great job with that design!

One more bid to make a leaderboard, and I'll post one tomorrow night if there hasn't been another bid, anyway! :D :halloween:
 
An early morning bump! All good trading pins welcome! Even if you don't gave anything from my wants list, if you have pins that I can use to get those pins, I'll love em.

Today I get to go to a water park! Although sadly not a Disney one, but it'll still be fun! :rock:
 
Well, I have returned - slightly crispier - from the water park, surprised to find no new bids!! :sad:

Anyway, as promised, here's the current leader board (this was incredibly difficult!), with naught but a hair's width between one and two!:

1) Teddy_Ruxpin (Pins 99964, 99965, 38121)
2) Merlin Emrys (Pin 113731)
 
My very first auction here was the CHASER of this figure but I never knew it was the chaser. If I had i would've never parted with it ):

Hopefully i can find something you'd want.
 
I looked it up - apparently the chasers have a silver base. I bought 7+ of these things back when they first came out (first and second vols), and never saw a silver based one... That's pretty awesome, though!
 
That's crazy! Alas, both of mine are just regular old figures.

Yeah, I remember buying a whole set of Volume 2 from China on evilbay right after they came out and they were all bootleg. :( Ansem wilted/leaned forward so badly I had to tape him to the shelf. Hahah! It was a bad time. Hahah!

That's awful! Another thing I didn't know: bootleg figures. Ansem was always a bit of an ill-balanced figure anyway; I had the figures set up on a kind of wobbly desk, and every time it moved, he fell over. And he's one of the more annoying ones to put back together.

One day (and a half) left! Don't let this beautiful figure get away!
 
Hrm, my traders are running a little dry, and it's gonna be tough to be Sabrinas bid... I'll add this:

Pin #89849

But know, the back of the sorcerer hat is peeling some:

But you can't tell from the front at all:
